Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1887-09-17

People who know Samuel /. Clemens
only as Mark Twain, the humorist have
no idea Of the scholarly attainments of the
man. Reading his books of travel, one
gets only the impression of a newspaper
man. A brilliant and witty man, it is
true, but with the shallow flippancy, the
irreverence that is the characteristic of
many journalists who hold few things
sacred, and would sacrifice most things to
point funny paragraph.
Dora Wheeler, who has painted the por-
traits of most of the literary men and
women of to-day, painted Twain's not long
ago, and said of him that she had never
had among all her literary sitters one more
thoughtful, learned and scholarly. He
would pass like flash from the maddest
and most irreverent waggery to grave
discussion of abstruse thought, and his
favorite poet was-mirabile dictu-Robert
Browning. If one can picture anything
apparently more at the antipodes of
thought than Twain's trenchant, obvious,
aggressive humor and the subtle, intro
spective, involved processes of Browning's
mind, they may be able to comprehend
how far one is from knowing man solely
by his published works.-BrooAyn Eagle.

This has been terrible week at tho

The walls of bedrooms fairly dripped. the

night, dropped her black silk stockings on

Ovt rrating the Trlephonc.

\ good Joke is told of a Dallas Young
man who overrated the powers of the tele

his sweetheart to a sociable, but happening
to meet with an accident on the way to hel
house he went to near telephone to ex.
, plain why he could not fill his engagement
Going to the instrument he called the in,
eyitable-" Hellow

"Well, rYe met with serious aceiden,
and can't come"

No, not hurt at all; but"
Then why can't you come, if you ar,
not hurt ? What is the matter? Please tell

No; | want to know now Pll be mad
If you don't tell me. What is it? Tel
me right off,
Well, if you must know. Fve torn my
best pants from the Rio Grande to Red

coat and turned toward the telephone, amid
roar of laughter from the few who were
gathered around. He thought in his ex.
citement thai his inquisitive friend could
see through the telephone. They haven't

apathy Toward the aduIteration OF Food

Sctcace calls attention to that point in
the recent report of DR.. Saunders, public
analyst for the city of London, which de-
plores the lack of active public support in
the effort to expose and abate the evils of
food adulterations. The report states that
the public at large continues to show
marked apathy toward the working of the
food inspection laws, and that if the in
spectors were not ordered to secure samples
independently of complaints being made
no check would exist upon the adulteration
of the foods and drugs sold in the city of
London. During the year 1886 the de-
partment made 1873 analyses, of which
sixty-one were OF milk, twenty-five of
whisky, nine of gin, sixteen of mustard,
twenty-sevcn of drugs, ten of disinfectants,
six of water, four of butter and butterine.
and the remainder of miscellaneous ar
ticles. The discrepancies of opinions be-
tween analysts resulting from the employ
ment Of separate methods, and the unsatis-
factory character of some of the laws relat-
ing to food supply, are given as reasons
which have prevented the work of the de-
partmcnt from impressing itself more
firmly upon the community. The same
want of zeal on the part of the public is,
we imagine, existent in this country, and
besides we have not such corps of in
spectors acting under orders to secure
samples of food for analysis as exists in
London. The opportunities for aduiterated
foods escaping detection must, therefore,
I've much greater here than in England

Chinese and Politics,

The fact that the Manchoo nation rules
the Chinese does not weaken China. The
people, and especially the literati of China,
are loyal to the imperial family just as if
it were Chinese. /" The Emperor is to me
the donor of literary rank, and his ances-
tors gave my ancestors literary honors for
seven or eight generations. l owe him
fealty as the fountain of my honors.D
Such is a specimen of the way in which
they reason, and it is an understood thing
that any who, on occasion of popular ris-
